Happy new year friends! It’s hard to believe we’re almost through the first month of the new year! What better time than a brand new year to talk about stepping out in faith and following God’s nudging to do something out of our comfort zones?

In my Proverbs 31 devotion today, The Benefits of Blind Obedience, I shared about how I spent many years believing God could never use me or my life for anything good, but how the example of the blind man we read about in John 9 helped open my own eyes to the fact that God can use all things for good, just like He promises. We just have to believe it and be willing to step out in faith.

This passage tells us about the miraculous healing of a blind man, but what struck me most was when God helped me realize that the blind man was healed when he chose to blindly obey the command of Jesus to “go.” Without questioning or hesitating, the man moved forward in faith. His blind obedience resulted in physical healing, but also and even more importantly, helped him discover holy purpose from his pain. He became a living, breathing witness of how God can use years of suffering to bring glory to Him. You can read the entire devotion here .

To kick off this new year and hopefully help someone find the courage to also step out in blind faith this year, I’m giving away THREE FREE COPIES of my book Your Life Still Counts! See below for how to enter on Facebook!
